I am at a Business Startup Show (just launched my website accessibility company To view the link you have to Register or Login) and Parish is here talking about how he “learnt to Soar with the Eagles”, (that’s the name of his talk).

I couldn’t resist asking him, in the Q&A afterwards, whether anyone at CPFC staff ever read this forum. I’ll let you listen to his amusing reply. I also asked him why he sold Glenn Murray, on behalf of a friend.

Interesting. Does not bother reading the BBS anymore because of the vitriol and would only really do so if he wanted to hang himself.
On selling Glenn Murray was on the recommendation of management who said he was past it following injury (to be honest they were right and it is only the last few weeks he has shown a bit of the old Glenn). Of course he is not going to say what a miserable git he is as well.

Of course he shouldn’t take suggestions from forums. On the whole, we’re a bunch of f—king idiots that think we can run a club, manage the team and probably rule the world.

Alternatively, we're a bunch of people with a very diverse experience base, much wider than any relatively small group of paid employees who could well move onto another club. We also have the club's best interests at heart and are unlikely to move onto another club.

OK, so as SP has said, you have to wade through so much rubbish to get to the gems, but strange things happen.

Who was the guy a Wycombe who joined them in the run-up to their ?League Cup run and was found via ?social media?

Some of us are. But some of us watch a lot of foreign football - I’m also a Valencia fan so watch at least one La Liga game a week and often more, and there’s loads of really informed people in this thread who watch a lot of European football. Some of our suggestions have been excellent. I think you’re underestimating the collective knowledge some of us have!

Unfortunately, you need more than be able to say I've seen such & such a player look good on tv a few times.

Of course, but how is SP to know on here is talking sense and who is talking complete bollocks. He can't investigate every single suggestion and alos if these players are that good, they will often be aware of them. At the end of the day, that's why he employs scouts and a Director of football so as not to rely on heresay from 'experts' on forums. That's not to say that people don't know their stuff but if they were that good at eyeing a player then they would be in the trade scouting.

I'm surprised with your extensive knowledge you haven't jacked in your day job and become a freelance scout for the club!
